Criteria for convective versus absolute string instability in car-following models
No full textThe linear stability properties of car-following models of highway traffic are analysed. A general family of models is introduced and the subsequent analysis developed in terms of its partial derivatives. Two measures of wave propagation, namely (i) the group velocity and (ii) the signal velocity, are introduced and computed. These measures are used to classify how instability propagates disturbances, measured relative to the frame of the road along which the vehicles drive. Detector data suggest that disturbances should propagate only in an upstream direction (convective upstream instability), and it is shown how to parametrize models to agree with data and avoid unrealistic downstream propagation (absolute and convective downstream instability). <br/

Tintásüveg: Egy biblioterápiai gyűjtemény margójára
No full textThis article reports on a two-year project, Reading for Recovery(R4R), made possible by the Carnegie-Whitney grant from the American Library Association. The goal was to build a tool with the purpose of facilitating library resources for creative and informal bibliotherapy geared toward people with substance use/abuse problems. In addition to first introducing the results of their work in an article to Hungarian audiences vested tremendously in bibliotherapy, the author wishes to share the difficulties project staff members had to face. Besides issues caused by a major change at the host institution (and out of project staff's control), staff members also had to develop individual strategies to handle the hardship caused by the topic itself. The author, principal investigator of R4R, for example, ended up writing short stories from the material they handled. One example is also included, along with questions to help working with the text individually or in a group setting, such as a book club, a model R4R promotes.Peer reviewedIn Hungarian

Egyedül nem megy: gondolatok egy addiktológiai biblioterápiai gyűjtemény összeállítása közben
No full textThe Information Services Division of the Rutgers Center of Alcohol Studies would like to present Reading for Recovery (R4R), a collection and guide for bibliotherapy in addictions, sponsored by a two-year Carnegie-Whitney grant from the American Library Association. By showcasing the work at Rutgers and beyond, this paper highlights the role of librarians to assist people with substance use problems as well as their loved ones with the help of bibliotherapy. Information on the theory and practical use of bibliotherapy and materials to share and download complete this new resource on a LibGuides platform. Social media applications, such as LibraryThing and Goodreads have also been recruited for better dissemination. The author recommends this paper and the resource for anyone actively engaged in bibliotherapy as well as for accidental bibliotherapists.Peer reviewedIn Hungarian
